Acacia arcuatilis is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae that is endemic to south western parts of Australia.

Description

The rounded spreading shrub can grow to a height of Шаблон:Convert.[1] The sericeous branchlets have red-brown or yellow-brown resin-ribs at the extremities. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen shallowly to strongly incurved phyllodes occasionally curl back to a full circle. The grey-green and terete phyllodes have a length of Шаблон:Cvt and a diameter of Шаблон:Cvt and are hairy in the furrows between the nerves. There are usually eight wide and flat topped nerves per face.[2] It flowers from June to August producing spherical yellow flowers.[1] The simple inflorescences usually occur in pairs in the axils and have spherical flower-heads with a diameter of Шаблон:Cvt and contain 10 to 22 golden coloured flowers. Following flowering thinly coriaceous seed pods for that have a linear shape but are slightly raised over and constricted between each of the seeds. The straight to slightly curved pods have a length of as much as Шаблон:Cvt and a width of Шаблон:Cvt and have hairs on the faces and wide margins. The seeds inside the pods are arranged longitudinally and are glossy and mottle with an elliptic shape with a length of Шаблон:Cvt with a conical aril that is about as long as the seed.[2]

Distribution

It is native to areas of the Wheatbelt and the Great Southern regions of Western Australia.[1] The plant will grown in loam, sand or lateritic soils and is often found on the plains or rises.[1] The bulk of the population is found around Bindi Bindi in the north down to around Ongerup in the south and as far east as Hyden where is most often a part of open mallee scrub and less frequently open heath communities.
